@scottalanmiller said in Proxmox install for use with a ceph cluster:
Because it HAS to default to SOMETHING. If you wanted anything, you'd have selected it. So they default to what is safest and most common. Why pay for a hardware controller if you didn't have a use for it? The key features of a hardware controller are disabled with R0.
HPE doesn't sell an actual pass through HBA. All their HBA devices are duel use parts. (To be fair, the equivalent line from Broadcom/Avago like the 3008 in theory can be sold with a RAID 1 no cache support, but plenty of OEM's like Dell sell Pure HBA firmware (Sometimes called The IT firmware) such as the HBA 330. Now the Gen9's might of still offered controllers from both ODMs (by Gen10 though that was gone, and I'm pretty sure it was a lot earlier like gen7 where HPE last used Avago parts).
